CBS-Homes of Ft. Meyers, FL has developed a system to build homes with fiberglass composite components for the floor, wall and roof. The first assembly plants are planned for Central Florida and East Texas.
I saw their product a few years ago at a home show in Orlando. I am curious if anyone on this forum has seen this system. Promises to be lower cost and much faster than any other system. Since I have heard this claim from other new systems over the years, I am wondering if this fiberglass composite system will develop a following like ICF's and SIPs.
Your thoughts, please.
